Some really great info about the importance of manual therapy after abdominal surgery (we see you c-section moms).

I’ve been preaching about this for years. So many issues can be linked to abdominal scar tissue and adhesions.

We’ve got you covered 👏🏻

🧠 New Evidence on Manual Therapy for Post-Surgical Adhesion Symptoms
📌 What’s it about?
A recent systematic review in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies examined the impact of manual therapy on symptoms related to adhesions after abdominal surgery, a clinical issue we frequently encounter in postoperative rehabilitation.

🧪 Key Takeaways for PTs:
✅ Abdominal adhesions are common, with up to 90% of patients developing adhesions within 12 to 24 months after surgery. Traditional management often involves surgical adhesiolysis, which carries risks and potential for recurrence.
✅ Manual therapy shows promise as a non-invasive adjunct for managing adhesion-related symptoms, including pain reduction, improved function, and relief of gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal complaints.
✅ This review screened 773 studies and focused on outcomes from nine relevant articles comparing manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and visceral mobilization for adhesion-related issues.
✅ Evidence supports potential benefits across acute and chronic adhesion presentations, though study quality and sample sizes are limited.

👩‍⚕️ Clinical Implications:
➡️ Manual techniques, including soft tissue and visceral mobilization, may complement conventional care for patients struggling with adhesion-related symptoms after abdominal surgery.
➡️ These approaches could help improve patient comfort and mobility when integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan, especially in the context of post-operative scar and visceral mobility work.
➡️ Further high-quality research is still needed, but this review supports evidence-informed use of manual therapy in specific clinical scenarios.

💭 Takeaway for PT Practice:
Manual therapy is emerging as a viable adjunct in addressing symptoms linked to abdominal adhesions, offering a non-surgical option that aligns with holistic, movement-focused rehabilitation goals.

We are so happy to welcome Stephanie Duncan, PT to our office. She brings over 30 years of manual therapy experience. She specializes in both orthopedics and women’s health issues. We are very lucky to have her ♥️

We have some amazing new practicioners in our office and can now treat a variety of issues. In order to celebrate our continued growth - we are bringing back our “free screens”.

What does this mean?

The appointment lasts 15-20 minutes and is completely free of charge. It gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns with one of our physical therapists in order to get insight on what is going on, how to improve it, and if/how physical therapy can help.

It can be anything from back pain to postpartum issues to vertigo. We’ve got you covered ♥️
